Can I Smoke Drug 2 Days Before The Minor Surgery?

in 2 days, I will be having a minor outpatient surgery, with no IV sedation or anesthesia. Instead, I will be taking oxycodone and valium and remain awake during the procedure. My question is this, can I smoke marijuana 2 days before the surgery, without compromising the surgery, healing time, inflammation of tissues, etc.? Thanks!

Hi thanks for asking question.
Marijuana smoke can lead to disorientataion, lack of physical coordination, anxiety, drowsiness, increase heart rate.
So streakly speaking don't take it before surgery to avoid risk.
As far as healing concerned, it will not be affected.but surgical risk is there.
I hope i have solved your query.Dont smoke it before surgery.
Wish you best health ahead.
thanks.
